is there truly such a thing as a "good highbush cranberry"?  This is our 
second year of getting a few berries off of the highbush cranberry (Viburnum 
trilobum), and they are one of the most bitter things I have ever tasted.

The bit of searching i've done indicates that there are several closely 
related species - some very bitter and some more tart like a true cranberry.  
Does anyone have one of the palatable varieties?

I'm sad to remove the plant, it's shown impressive vigor (6 ft of growth this 
year alone), but the bee forage just doesn't make up for the fruit.
